System:
e8500 E0
p5b-deluxe (vdroop mod)
crucial Ballistix "lan fest" (thanks sno!)
275 gtx

Max valid 5734. I know I can squeeze a couple more fsb out of it but it gets real inconsistent at these volts/speeds.

C2Ds kill at 3D01. 106,520 single 275 gtx! :attn:

I got a bunch of points for various 2d benches but they were untweaked and had poor efficiency. I'm going to try and improve them today. Along with more 3d01 fun. IF I haven't killed something. The rig was very unstable when I stopped yesterday.
 
This E8500 is a beast! (thanks hank)

More 3d01 domination @ 5.6ghz:

Vold modded 7900gt, would be killer if I got it cold. 73743 - 7th place

8800gts 640 - 87619 - 9th place

Not too shabby for my 5th dice session.

Very impressive indeed :)
Did you tag 4 threads to the CPU when you ran WPrime?

Just 2 for that. When I tested it a high speeds with 3 threads the system would often score lower and sometimes crash. I'll have to play around with it some more when I get more dice.
 
I've never had three work for beans, four often works, but sometimes hangs after the last thread completes but before it actually finishes.
